A thin rod of length L and mass M is held vertically with one end on the floor and is allowed to fall. Find the velocity of the other end when it hits the floor, assuming that the end on the floor does not slip?

A thin rod of length L and mass M is held vertically with one end on the floor and is allowed to fall. Find the velocity of the other end when it hits the floor, assuming that the end on the floor does not slip?

A uniform rod of mass m and length l pivoted at one of its top end is hanging freely in vertical plane. Another identical rod moving horizontally with velocity v along a line passing through its lower end hits it and sticks to it. The two rods were perpendicular during the hit and later also they remain perpendicularly connected to each other. Find the maximum angle turned by the two-rod system after collision.

A uniform rod of length l is held vertically on a horizontal floor fixing its lower end, the rod is allowed to fall onto the ground. Find (i) its angular velocity at that instant of reaching the ground (ii) The linear velocity with which the tip of rod hits the floor.

A uniform rod AB hinged about a fixed point P is initially vertical. A rod is released from vertical position. When rod is in horizontal position: The acceleration of end B of the rod is
